The article doesn’t go into it, but the university’s published perspective adds that the cure is that a bone marrow transplant he got for non-HIV reasons turned out to come from a person with natural HIV immunity.

punctuation are speed bumps you cannot have them on the highway of thought

Nah, he’s harmless. I just want to cause him problems post mortem.

“I am recording this message as testimony in case I die tomorrow April 20th 2026. It is not an accident. Johan the noisy upstairs neighbor who throws cigarette butts onto my balcony and yelled at my kids for laughing too loud may have poisoned me. Do not let him get away with it.”

Copy-pasting stuff in order to annoy people, then belittle and argue with them when they are annoyed as if you are being attacked.

From this, an urge urge to compare yourself with one of the great thinkers.

Just… Chill. Handle some discourse, will ya?

Uranium! Advantage: Gets very hot. Disadvantage: Doesn’t stop.

Oh, that’s a biggie. Can I think about it?

Because the reasons you have for not actively effecting this change apply to everyone else as well.

True. Culture, history, etc as an experience is valid.

It is where people pretend it is important to quality and taste, I call bullshit.

As for the experience… If the old bearded Italian man who served you traditional cheesemelt pig in wooden clogs while singing Por Trancone Parditto were to, say, replace the cheese with Swedish Gulost and not tell you… You would have the same experience.

Not saying it’d be the same, but that the food taste and quality are entirely separate from the authenticity.

Ah I see you are enjoying yourself. Would you care to know that you are, in fact, enjoying yourself incorrectly?

There is no joy to be had the way you are doing it. If there is, it is a fault in your character.

Tradition and authenticity is bullshit.

Food from good ingredients prepared well matters more than if the cheese was stared at for two hours by the sheepwife of the mayor of Scrumthrorpeshireffield.

For example: Wine tasters were clear that French wine just tasted better than Californian wine. They were extremely convinced. Then they tried a blind test and hoo boy did everyone get pissed when they couldn’t tell the French wine was better without knowing it was French first. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine)

And if he is: Does he know? Is he moving his GI Joe figurine forward on the chessboard and going pew pew while being outmaneuvered in 3 dimensions?

Grip #7: Warriors maybe don’t. True Warriors, though: https://youtu.be/ICicbapshts

If people offering criticism offend you so much, just stop listening to them 🫡

Dunno why they needed to manipulate the upper ground plug to be more rapey. It would honestly be funny enough unaltered.

Leaving when others are getting fucked is making a stand and having principles. Yay applause.

Going lalalalala and staying on right until you get fucked is just whatever. Don’t brag please.

A Celebrity Does A Grift.

This happens a lot.

In crypto, it usually goes like this: Celebrity makes a coin. Uses fans goodwill to make them buy in. Coin gets rugpulled (oh no!) as in the celebrity and their tech friend cash out and leave the fans with a dead coin worth 1% of what they paid.

The celebrity will then say they were flimflammed. Fooled. Duped. Tricked. Teary apology. Very sad. Victim like you and me. Very also kept the advance $50k from the tech people. Also kept the cash they got from rugpulling. Don’t ask about that.

“CEO of shoddily coded autocomplete app says it will kill us all and he should get a trillion dollars to stop it.”

Basically the same headline repeated 8392 times the past three years, just phrased differently.

All autistics are human.

Some humans are shitty people.

Therefore some autistics are shitty people.

QED

I was a teenager before smartphones were a thing.

Things I did when not phone, and no random book or comic nearby:

Waiting for bus: Running off to explore the plants behind the bus stop shed, missing the bus.

Waiting for bus: Trying to see if I could grab the bus stop sign and somersault by running up the bus stop shed wall. I could not, and faceplanted the concrete breaking my glasses.

On toilet: Grab shampoo bottles to read, comparing the grammar of the instructions.

School recess: Climb onto the school roof, get in trouble.

School recess: Try and kick the feet of a school bully while he was proudly demonstraring rhe roundhouse kick he learned to see if he would fall on his ass. He fell on his ass and we did not become friends.

The absence of a phone will not calm me down.
